Professor Michael Hanna is a senior consultant neurologist with a wealth of clinical consulting experience. Over the course of his career, he has personally assessed and treated more than 45,000 people with a wide range of neurological symptoms. 

Professor Michael Hanna sees all general neurology conditions and enjoys supporting patients though the diagnostic and treatment journey. He is also known internationally for his clinical care and research in muscle-wasting neurological conditions such as motor neuron disease, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophies, mitochondrial disease, myositis, channelopathies, and peripheral neuropathy. He leads an expert team as Director of the London International Muscle Centre. The Centre prioritises rapid diagnosis including genomics, MRI, neurophysiology, muscle/nerve biopsy and providing bespoke therapy programmes including medication, immunotherapy, physiotherapy and rehabilitation. He provides neurological rehabilitation for individuals with neuromuscular neurological disease.
